My digital camera makes avi video clips.
everytime I try to email one, the message times out and it says the message is too big.
actually the message is from my AVG virus scan and it says:
5.2.3 Message exceeds local size limit
even if I turn the email scan off, I cannot send these messages.
can anyone help me out?

How big are these video clips? Are you sending through webmail or a pop3 client? How fast is your connection?

There's your problem. The attachment is too large. You might see if you can break the video file up into smaller pieces, or compress it using WinZip or a similar program.
How large of an attachment can I send or receive through email?
When you are using email, the Verizon web-based email application, you can send attachments that are up to 8 MB (megabytes) in size. Emails sent using 3rd party email programs like Outlook, Lotus Notes, or Eudora, however; can contain attachments up to 20 MB. Be aware that email recipients may not have the necessary storage space or be able to accept large attachments. Many people (especially those who use a dial-up connection) consider 50 KB attachments to be too big to be sent without the recipient's permission.
Keep in mind that your recipients will not be able to open attachments unless they have software that supports that file type. Also, large files can take a long time to send or receive, and many email systems won't allow you to send files over 1 MB in size. Additionally, if you send email messages with large attachments via email don't save the outgoing message; that stores it on the mail server, increasing your mailbox use.
